ASRock B650M PG Riptide

Compact micro-ATX motherboard with four slots for DDR5 RAM, PCI-E 5.0 bus support and the ability to install two video cards simultaneously. Equipped with an AMD AM5 processor socket and controlled by mid-range B650 system logic. Supports Ryzen 7000 series processors and above. Despite being part of the Riptide gaming series, the emphasis here is not on bright design or lighting, but on high quality, reliability and durability.

In particular, we are talking about specialized latches for RAM modules, a compacted 6-layer PCB, enhanced cooling of the VRM area and additional radiators for M.2 slots. Well, the 15-phase power converter based on DrMOS provides sufficient power consumption for powerful multi-core processors like Ryzen 7 or Ryzen 9. Despite its modest dimensions, the ASRock B650M PG Riptide has 4 slots for DDR5-7200 RAM with support for XMP and EXPO profiles.

Unlike previous Riptide models, the maximum amount of RAM has been increased to 192 GB. For installing drives, two high-speed M.2 connectors and four SATA 3 connectors for HDD and SSD are provided. The Dragon RTL8125BG network controller provides 2.5 Gbps throughput and is specialized for gaming. Numerous connectors for water cooling and ARGB/RGB LED strips emphasize the gaming nature of the device.
